Last year, I harvested a buck in Weakley County. I took him to Kaufman's Processing, in Cottage Grove, where I had taken deer before, only to discover that they were no longer processing deer as they couldn't find enough help. Mr. Kaufman suggested I take the buck to Yoder Brothers, just outside of Paris, which worked out fine, since they weren't far away & since both Weakley & Henry Counties are CWD counties (you're not supposed to transport an unprocessed deer from a CWD county into a non-CWD county.). I got to Yoder Brothers about 10AM. When I got there, I noticed there was only one guy processing deer & he was about 40 deer behind. This was during gun season, peak time for deer processing.
Yesterday, I saw where Yoder Brothers will not be processing deer this year. They have been the major deer processor in Henry County for at least 30 years. That leaves Birdwell Deer Processing, which is located south of Greenfield, as an option. I've taken them deer before & they have done a good job, but that would be over 40 miles from where I hunt in Henry County.
Does anyone know of, or have experience with, any other processors in Henry or Weakley counties? This could get complicated in a hurry.
